Attracting 15 to 20,000 visitors from several adjacent counties, the Bradford County Fair has all the usual family-oriented fun and games, but also some good old-fashioned “county fair” events and activities.  Exhibits include agriculture, crafts and animal husbandry.

One of the best things about the fair is all the yummy food that is probably not good for you, but who cares? It's the fair! Inside the buildings, we have local organizations selling items like hamburgers, BBQ, strawberry shortcakes, and fresh squeezed lemonade. Outside is a whole new world of deliciousness! Come support your local Rotary and Kiwanis Chapters (between building 1 and 2), BHS Band (between building 1 and the livestock barn), and the Women's Auxillary inside building 1. Mmmm....it's almost time to have a reason to go back to the gym!
